"The sports and entertainment executive Casey Wasserman is facing calls to step down from his namesake music agency after his sexually-charged emails surfaced in the Epstein files. With artists like Chappell Roan leaving and top agents reportedly demanding a change in leadership, talent managers and touring executives say they expect imminent change - possibly a sale of the music firm."
"One manager for a major Wasserman artist, who is not a Wasserman employee and who spoke to The Times on condition of anonymity to preserve their relationships within the firm, said agents there informed them that Wasserman plans to step down from the music agency and spin it off into a separate company with a new name. Representatives for Wasserman did not respond to requests for comment."
Casey Wasserman faces intense pressure to relinquish control of his namesake music agency after sexually-charged emails appeared in the Epstein files. Artists including Chappell Roan have left and top agents are demanding leadership change, prompting managers and touring executives to predict imminent restructuring or a sale of the music firm. Agents informed a manager that Wasserman plans to step down from the music agency and spin it off as a separately named company. Private equity investor Providence Equity Partners has not commented. Industry figures expect talent exits if Wasserman remains, while his sports agency and Olympic role show less clear signs of change.
